    9.5mm Akoyas from Pearl Outlets Mother's Day Sale

    Unfortunately, Terry's ad says they are now permanently out of stock. Such an amazing deal, I don't doubt that in the least. Do give him a call, though, to see what he can do for you.

    Home remedy for Bleaching pearls?

    If you're afraid of HP, I'm not sure I'd try toothpaste, then. In the states, HP is fairly common whereas other countries won't allow it. Haven't tried this myself, but, I use Cream of Tartar as a tooth whitener. Just sprinkle it on the toothbrush. Perhaps a paste of the same smeared on the...

    Sea Shells Used to Clean Up Heavy Metals

    How would they wash or dispose of the toxic-laden shells? If they can't do that safely, what's the point?

    I think they would look fine if you happen to be 7' tall. A little heavy? How about hugely heavy. The design would be great for a bangle bracelet.

    Using for tools holder??

    Am I the only one who kept the little plastic covers that fit over the business end of the tools? Keeps me from doing damage to myself when I'm reaching/rummaging/not looking where I'm going.

    Using for tools holder??

    Lamp that does dual duty. Cigar boxes for old tools. Plastic bins for towels, needles, threads, wax, and all the little gizmos.

    What marvelous photos! I wonder why the workers wore aprons to string and sort? Poor dears, with their little hunched backs.

    It will be here Saturday (free shipping is slower, okey fine by me). I've already downloaded every free book on Amazon.com so I'm all set to curl up and give it a test drive. They have a list of free books for $2.00 and something. Do you believe that? Paying for a list of freebies? I...

    What do you think?

    Take a look at these. I was watching this for the clasp, but I was shocked at how much it actually went for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=120406317876

    Michelle at Migem is a great source for beads. She will drop her prices by 30% without too much of a fuss. A 50% drop takes some work. Look for deep discounts around late July to August and February; in other words, just before the Hong Kong shows. The only problem with waiting for the big...

    What do you think?

    I really, really wish I could help you, but I have my own demon strand I'm trying to forget. Very iridescent, HIGHLY reflective. Makes me crazy.

    Quite elegant pieces. My favorite combination is ruby and white pearls so I'm partial to the crescent. Where do you get your gem beads? I get mine from migem.com.

    Just one of those nights.

    Reminds me of a girl I worked with. She had an Honora bracelet given to her by her boyfriend stationed in Iraq and it broke and she was positively heartbroken and could I please fix it and how much? It was two rows of pearls on a leather band. I told her $2 an inch on silver so she would...

    Just one of those nights.

    They have pearl shorteners. You could also make a decorative tassle in the back. If you tear it apart, don't knot each pearl individually. A knot every 5th pearl is just fine if you have fears of the strand breaking.

    Tears of Mermaids Imminent

    I did that before I purchased the Kindle. I have never known anyone besides my daughter who actually craves something to read. I wake up in the middle of the night and the craving for reading material is an actual hunger. I'm just so tired of reading the same thing over and over. Maybe this...

    Are Indian "natural" pearls natural?

    comes in many forms. Waterboarding was just one of the many. Relentless heavy metal being another. Weren't they also playing the 'Barney' theme relentlessly? That would put me over the edge, I assure you. The debate continues as to whether waterboarding is torture or not. The terrorist...
